Books, magazines and recently the internet have been my primary source of knowledge outside of the School of Hard Knocks. Have been doing photography for over 50 years and enjoying it more and more with today's technology.

Actually, I cannot use just one response to this question. I learned on my own, have attended courses locally at a university, also have taken online courses. Magazines were my main resource in the 1970's. I don't think I could keep up without all the availability of info out there now. I'm a perpetual student!

Actually I use a combination of all of the above. I did get an Associate Degree in Photography when there was "no" digital. After studying digital for over two years, I took the plunge this past January with a Nikon D200, so far it's great! Thank you.

I've been a photographer for 60 years. I got my first camera, an Argus C-3 for a Bar-Mitzvah present, and have been hooked ever since then. I've had a few darkroom, and many cameras, over the years, and now am strictly digital.

My overpacked schedule does not afford me the opportunity to either sit in a class or a seminar most times, so I have taught myself most of what I know, and learned others from reading when time permits aor talking with peers.

Initially I purchased and studied alot of how-to books, but now I purchase and study mostly photography and art books by my favorite photographer and artists. I read a number of magazines and online resources to educate myself about technique and equipment.

I am still learning. Online resources to keep up with the latest. Buy an occasional magazine to read. Not too many magazine left out there that have any qualitative material, they all have adds and reviews which sound more like "pitches", but occasionally they do go techniques, which is why I end up buying it.
